Principles for Successful Fatherhood
- When fathers are around in the house, they should consider it pertinent to stay close to their children in positive discussion and meditation on the word of God as this will definitely minimize the extent of evil thought conception due to idleness. Fathers should also involve their children on extra curricular activities not excluding visiting some amusement parks, tourist centers increasing their zest for nature and inculcating in them the culture of conservation, as this will culminate in effective sustainable management of whatever is in their possession be it financial or otherwise.

Great article
- Having grown up without a father or mother I can attest to the inherent desire of a child wanting all of the aforementioned. Today, after years of therapy, these are the principles I strive to exhibit with my sons, albeit, a challenge not having them exemplified and taught to me , they are what every man, woman, and child desires deep in their soul(s). Appreciate the article.

Community Activist
- My name is Mach and I am a Sudanese American immigrant; a 29 yrs single man. I came to the USA in 2003. I spent many years without parents; I left my country when I was two years old, but I did monumental achievements for my life. I got associate's degree in criminal Justice at Jefferson Community and Technical College and bachelor's degree in Justice Administration at University of Louisville, KY. My point is opportunity helps children without parents. I agree with the qualities of successful fathers, but wars kill future of children without parents. Also, other factors left out are politics and religions influence children and fathers. I like to be the community activist because of injustices, hatred, jealousy, racism and lack of suffrage around the world. Parents act violently towards children because of no opportunities. However, peace helps parents to support children's directions,missions and goals in a country. Finally, we are all fathers and children of one planet/earth. Love! M

caring and sharing
- There were 12 in our family. My mom and dad both ran a resort. They always took the time to be with us. They did homework with us and they went to our sporting events. Mom played the organ in church and dad always was there for us. Our family was so tight it was great how much time they gave us. Dad was complimenting us all the time on our accomplishments.

View from a thankful daughter
- Being there... As a daughter this is the most important gift my father ever gave me. It not only made me feel loved but also important and meaningful. There is not a single moment in my life that I remember not feeling supported by my dad (from the homework to the heartache) and that was very significant. I hope if I ever have children to always be there for them.

totally agree with consistency
- I wish more people agreed with this consistency. I am a single mom and try to get my family and friends who have my child to go by the rules I set at home and don't understand why its so difficult to do. I am so not a follower of the what happens at grandparents or God parents stays at grandparents or God parents.

My Dad
- my Dad is a man of few words, but together with my Mum, they've raised two kids with what I feel is the right kind of morals & thinking. Communication is important.
